| The car is a 1980 with AC, though the AC is... well, pretty shot. Blower doesn't work, but I think it's a bad rotary switch. Previous owner also said that the system discharged itself of R12. Lack ... |

Ok, so I'm flushing it anyway.
I likely can't get the heater core bc the climate control in the car doesn't work. The fan switch is probably bad and two of the three sliders have jumped the tracks ... |

I'll be picking up some G-05 from Autozone this afternoon. |
